However, Lucas and Melody knew they could not let their emotions get the better of them. They still had important things to do. They had to shoulder the burden of the family since Beatrice was still in the emergency ward with Cedric accompanying her.
"I'm worried about Grandma too, you know…" Melody's eyes turned red. She could not bear to say more. She was afraid that she would start crying if she did.
She did not want to think about it, but if she had not had that extra glass of wine, Beatrice would not have come upstairs to check on her. None of this would have happened.
Originally, Beatrice and Amber were chatting happily. It was her birthday, and it was rare to have so many old friends gathered together. Lucas and Melody had thrown such a grand banquet, hoping Beatrice would be happy, but it ended up with such a tragic outcome.
'If I had known this was going to happen, it would've been better for the family to have a quiet dinner together…' thought Melody.
However, there was no turning back time, no matter how regretful Melody was. The only thing she could do was to find out what happened.
Lucas pulled Melody into his arms when he saw her looking so sad. Both of them were going through a lot, and he was so focused on his own distress that he had not realized Melody was also consumed by guilt.
"I'm sorry..." Lucas murmured.
Melody shook her head. "It's not your fault."
She wanted to tell Lucas not to blame himself. The accident happened so unexpectedly, and neither of them wanted things to turn out this way.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Day I Kissed An Older Man
This book is a good book, but it’s too short. I hope it has a part two👍🏾...
This book is getting boring now. I loved Jeremy, Corinne, Sonny and Lucas. The story needs to end. or bring back more of Jeremy, etc....
I haven't skipped any chapter at all. Though the story is good, it keeps going back to base one. I think this has no ending at all and somehow after reading more than 2500 chapters it's kinda tiring already. They have drained all the thrills....
Great writing! I almost cried when Helen hit Melody! So sad! 😭 can’t wait to see how the relationship with her and Lucas develops though. So tired of the repetitive problems with different people....
Yikes my body tenses so much, my moods change as the scenes change. It leaves me wanting to continue reading....
my heart breaks for melody, so many ups and downs, i shed a few tears when lucas walked by melody carrying thalia, and melody stayed quiet while watching them leave. i find myself getting into character as if im one. i dont remember ever feeling like that in any other books. im thankful the 10 chapters/day. waiting for the next 10...
We have updated progress from 7 chapters/day to 10 chapters/day.<3...
i love grandma Beatrice, there needs to me more people like her in the world straight forward and to the point, no beating around the bush and worrying about offending anyone, why pretend to be someone your not....
looking forward to more chapters, The same thing is happening to Melody as what happened to Luna, if Luna was back maybe she would set Lucas straight, can't wait to see how Lucas handles the situations that will arrive. Poor Melody....
ya Lucas pay more attention to Melody lets see what happens waiting for more chapters thanks...
